Maulana Fazal-ur-Rahman the son of a great scholar Mufti Mahmood was born in June 19, 1953. He is an integral part of Pakistani politics and has a history of his own. He has been an influential politician, powerful religious personality and alongside a controversial figure due to the scandal of Diesel misappropriation. It is a general concept about him that he cannot and doesn't keep himself out of power corridors. He is the Secretary-General of the JUI(F) party. He asserted his influential role in regional policy regarding Jammu Kashmir and Afghanistan. He came to limelight in 1988 when he gave his support to the late Bibi Benazir Bhutto and also supported Benazir’s political campaign in 1993 general election. He was criticized widely for supporting a woman to become the prime minister of Pakistan.

After Benazir Bhutto had departed from Pakistan in 1998 he accepted the appointment as an the Leader of the Opposition until 1999. After the 2002 elections, Maulana Sahib assumed the office of Leader of the Opposition where he worked with Benazir Bhutto opposing President Pervez Musharraf and Prime minister Shaukat Aziz. After successfully getting some seats in 2008 general elections, Maulana later intensified his role in a left-wing alliance led by PPP and provided vital support to Yousaf Raza Gillani to form the government.

Despite many controversies this is a fact that Maulana Fazal ur Rehman is a renowned and qualified scholar. Besides getting Islamic education from local madrassahs, he also got a degree from famous Al-Azhar University of Egypt which is known for its high quality and authentic Islamic Education, so many people opposing him in politics cannot deny his grip on theological and Islamic ideological fronts.

He has also been a connecting medium between America and Afghan Taliban before the episode of 9/11 attacks. He also performed his duties as Kashmir Committee Chairman.

In the Present Scenario of Pakistani Politics, again CM of Punjab Mr. Shahbaz Sharif met with Maulana and invited him to join the government and he gave his consent as always he had done in past. We hope to see more interesting and obviously very influential role of Maulana Fazal ur Rehman in Pakistani Politics in future.

Pakistan has been the victim of terrorism since long, but it has taken the shape of a monster in recent days. The main victims are the residents of Karachi city, Quetta, Peshawar and tribal areas. The nature of terrorism is different in every region. Somewhere it is done on sectarian basis, somewhere it is from Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan on the basis of their self made Islamic ideology where killing of innocent citizens including women and children is also allowed. What an ignorance!. Now one question arises in the minds of whole nation, what is the solution? in my opinion the solution lies in the unity of Nation. All the representatives of four provinces, Establishment representatives like General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani and especially the CMs of Balochistan and KPK provinces, main stream leaders like Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, IMran Khan and representatives of Sindh, Balochistan and other religious parties should shun their differences for the sake of nation and sit on a common agenda to eliminate the terrorism from our dear homeland.

The forces who are ready to make dialogues should be brought to table and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should address their grievances and the forces who only think that gunfight is the only solution should be dealt with iron hands and be captured or eliminated.

The leading forces should take the nation into confidence and keep Karachi , Quetta and KPK on priority and also see what are the reasons of massive and regular killings in Karachi especially, which powers are behind the scene and should identify the black sheep and punish them regardless of their association with any political party, faction or any religious organization. If the menace of terrorism is not dealt seriously the country is definitely going towards doom and if this country is destroyed we are also destined to be doomed. Now there is do or die situation, Now or Never.
